Blackeyed peas for NYE? What is a tarp door. That is a mighty long list of things to do. The menus are making me hungry this early in the morning!
ReplyDeleteBlack eye peas is a type of dried bean and common down south. Hubby spent 2 yrs in Alabama. A tarp door is a tarp (usually white tarp) that has been cut and sewn to for a door. Has a zipper so it can be closed or opened. Some even have a screened in them that can be open and closed with a zipper. Amish use them a lot on porches and outside basement doors.
